Be it Hardik Pandya’s new hairstyle or MS Dhoni’s nap on the cricket field, cricketers are surely the trolls’ favourite. And this time, the target is cricketer Ravindra Jadeja. Why? Because he was smoking hookah.
After the cricketer put out an Instagram post with him relaxing and smoking hookah, he was trolled mercilessly as he ‘represents the country’. The caption that read ‘Bachpan kaali raaton mein or jawani kaale kaamo mein’ didn’t go down well with many of his fans and followers.
While some fans gave him a health advisory, some said that they don’t want to be his fans anymore and were ‘ashamed of him’
Some even went on to say that he doesn’t deserve to play for the country.
Many said that he is a role model fo many people and such posts will have a ‘bad influence’ on his followers.
No matter how much you try to escape them, trolls will pounce on celebrities the first opportunity they get and will also come with their set of advisories, sanskaari gyan and name calling.
As reported by Times Now, Jadeja started off well and continued with his dominance in the longest format of the game rising to rank one in both ICC bowlers ranking and all-rounders.
Jadeja also missed out on quite a few ODI and T20I series much to the dismay of his fans
Jadeja, will be seen in the three-match Test series against South Africa.
